BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices in wirelesscommunication systems, and in particular to a Grant-Free transmissionscheme and device.

Related Art

In existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, the dynamic scheduling ofuplink data is completed on the basis of uplink Grant. In DownlinkControl Information (DCI) corresponding to uplink Grant there exists aResource Block Assignment Field dynamically indicating at least one offrequency domain resources or time domain resources occupied by uplinkdata.

In the future mobile communication system, in order to reduce controlsignaling overhead and scheduling delay, uplink data transmission basedon Grant-Free will be employed, and also the corresponding mode ofresources allocation will need to be redesigned. In Grant-Free uplinktransmission, a simple implementation is to make each UE occupy atime-frequency resource of the same size when transmitting data. Thecomplexity of reception by the base station can be reduced in this way,though, for UE, only a fixed number of bits can be transmitted in anuplink transmission, thus decreasing the flexibility thereof.
